Kicking off our Nordic Domain Days with the first of five engaging content segments, we delve into the Domain Industry Insights. This inaugural segment aims to provide a comprehensive update on the latest developments within the domain name industry, as seen through the eyes of its most influential figures and the broader community.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is well-known by many in the Internet industry, but not always well understood. It is the organization that, along with many partners, is responsible for the coordination of the Unique Identifier system of Internet addresses, such as numeric IP addresses and Top Level domain names. In this session, Chris Mondini, ICANN’s Vice President for Europe will give you an overview of the latest developments in ICANN’s work, how it supports users and affects business -- and what is waiting around the corner.

Navigating today's online landscape through the lens of a corporate registrar: Challenges and opportunities in domains, online brand protection and dotBRANDs.

The second Nordic Domain Days content segments is all about the future of the internet based on recent trends regarding Web3, in Crypto, AI and the ever increasing legislative landscape that affects the domain name industry.

Let's delve into the essence of blockchain technology, the mechanics of Web3 domains, and key technical hurdles together with Francesco Cetraro, domain industry and Nordic Domain Days veteran. Then, explore diverse applications in the second half, showcasing how Web3 domains are reshaping digital landscapes. This session offers a comprehensive understanding of Web3's potential, empowering attendees to navigate its integration and leverage within their domains effectively.

Join Marco as he walks us through the InterNetX journey of developing and understanding domain valuation, what problems they faced and overcame, and how they benefit from this as a registrar.

The third and final Nordic Domain Days content segments of the day is also the first ever Aftermarket session in the event's history. This segment will educate the audience on how to build and manage a successful domain name portfolio as well as share insights about recent trends.

During this panel session we get to follow along the path of experts and learn about potential strategies in Traffic Domain Investing!

The fourth Nordic Domain Days content segments focuses on the topic of Policy, DNS Abuse and the recent twists in the form of the NIS2 Directive. We get an update from some of the most knowlegble people in the field on what is being currently being done, what more could be done and how the NIS2 directive impacts the industry and the efforts already in place.

We will take look at the latest developments relating to the recently implemented Digital Services Act, its potential impact and scope. Prudence will also provide an update on ICANN's Subsequent Procedures, bringing everyone up to speed with where we stand with the next round of proposed gTLDs for 2026.

In this session, Chris Lewis-Evans of CleanDNS will present their view on the amount of online harms that is seen on a global level as well as what the trends tell us.

Abuse currently sits at the center of a lot of discussions within the industry. As a global and borderless - yet also incredibly scattered and diverse - industry, we’re seeing shifts in overarching policies and directives in an attempt to enhance security, stability, and to reduce abuse. Now, legislation and directives largely aim to prevent things from going wrong in the first place, utilizing various required safeguards, minimum requirements, etc as opposed to dispute resolution which deals with issues after the fact. Considering, again, the global and geographically (and as such, legally and operationally) diverse nature of the industry, how can we also provide some practical tools to aid industry participants in this endeavor?

The fifth and last Nordic Domain Days content segments focuses is yet another traditional one, TECH!. This segment takes a deep-dive into a multitude of technical topics such as the recent updates on the DNS, Registry Operations and much much more.”

The DNS resolver was initially designed with a straightforward objective: to convert user-friendly webpage names into the corresponding server IP addresses. However, its potential extends beyond simple name resolution. Can it also serve as a layer of protection? If so, how? Recently, the European Commission initiated the DNS4EU project that includes private firms, governmental bodies, and academic institutions. The project aims to develop the next generation of EU-located protective DNS services. Let's explore the mechanics of such a service, delve into the critical elements of Threat Intelligence, and understand why it is a very effective and easily distributable solution against threats out there.
